8. The Slide Rock State Park
You’ll find this state park just north of Sedona. It was once an actual family homestead. The Pendley family grew apples and kept livestock here.
An improved irrigation system had to be installed to keep the apple orchard thriving. In the 1930s cabins were constructed in order to host local visitors. In 1987 it became a state park.
The park is now run by both the Arizona State Parks and the Forest Service. More than 300 apple trees remain on the property. It has been used in different movies such as 1950’s Broken Arrow, 1953’s Gun Fury and 1954’s Drum Beat.
9. The Airport Mesa
This hiking loop trail is one of the most beautiful trails in the entire region. Here you will be hiking at a height of approximately 4,500 feet. There are moments when you will be able to enjoy an impressive 360-degree panoramic view above several different landmarks, including Sedona’s signature red rocks.
You can park at the trail’s official starting point. If the parking lot there is full, don’t stress. There is another parking area a mile away that will reward your extra effort with some superb scenery on the way to the actual trail.
